Hi everyone, just popping in quickly.

Had a shocking start to our night. Sevens wind was so bad she screamed, and I mean screamed for 2 hrs until almost 1am. I was in tears seeing my baby in so much pain! Its horrid. I hope it was a one off and doesn't happen again tonight!

Hope everyone is well and their babies are behaving. I won't have a chance in haides of catching up with everything right now!

Seven is on a combination of Infants Friend (helps her fart like a boy and burp so much easier) and Brauers Stomach Calm ( her tummy doesn't churn half as much as it used to).
At 10.30 last night when the screaming started, and DF had tears because of her pain, we gave her a very warm bath which did soothe her, but once she was out, it all started again. I put her in her sling and she did nod off, but only for 30mins then it was back to the arching etc.

She hadn't pooped for 24hrs yesterday afternoon, which I know is normal for a breastfeed 6 week old baby, but Seven seems to get so uncomfortable and grunty and groany and strains so much that I think her eyeballs are going to pop out of her little head, if she doesn't go regularly.
She pooped this morning and is now back to the happy little snuggle pot that I know. But, if she doesn't go again in the next day I know it is going to be a repeat of last night. I am not sure what else I can do to help her poop!

Her little face is so peaceful right now it brings tears to my eyes remembering the screwed up face of last night.

I have heard of mother having benefibe or somethign similar to make there BF babies go is it possible to try this i take it every day anyhow and i know it dont bother josh, I can take up to 6 heaped table spoons dailey. If on bottle maybe just put a very little bit in there and increase the does if need be by very small amounts.
Thats what i would do in a bottle of water mind you i always fed my babies water

We are BF so maybe I will try taking the Benefibre. Thanks!

leash!! omg, you make me feel old!!

mel - hope keenan gets better real quick! lol @ aricyn eating crayons! has he tried the cat & dog food yet? khaemon often gets into the cat biscuits, and when kaliah was little, i caught her eating the cat litter!! eew, i know, but we use the recycled paper stuff and it had just been changed ...

squidipa - i don't think you're crazy, i'd love more kids too, just have to talk dp into it!! Thankfully i haven't had any c-sections (don't know if i would cope - i'd be too scared of feeling everything!)

cm4e - i know how it feels to watch your baby in pain ... veygas was like that b4 his hernia op, and he'd go 4 or 5 days without pooping - one night he screamed for two solid hours and then it took me another two or three hours to settle him back to sleep He loves the bath though, and now cries when I take him out, but when i start taking his clothes off b4 his bath, he gets all excited cause he knows whats coming!!

well, got a dr appt to get to, ds2 has been all over the place lately - temps up and down, moods up and down, cough, snotty nose ... what a great start to the school hols! plus gotta get ds3 conscientious objection form signed ...

*hugs* to everyone

Squidipa - its called pioneer park in landsborough. its on steve irwin way - can''t remember what the other road is called. its on the main road anyway.

pixie i was told you should feed on one side for a whole 3 hour period before swapping sides maybe this might help??

squiddy, that's what I was doing before but the left one seemed to run out and she was thrashing on it.... supply seems to have picked up today so hopefully we will be in business again.
cm4e, are you demand feeding? DD had terrible wind a few weeks ago and we came to the conclusion we were overfeeding her. Limited feeds a bit (20-25 mins every 3 hours in the day and 4 hourly at night) and that really helped. She's feeding more than that at the moment but she seems to be having a growth spurt and she isn't getting bad wind. Anyhoo, hope you find something that works!
Went to Beth's 6-8 week check today and she is doing great - up to 5 kg, 57cm and HC 39.2. Just under 75th percentile so all going well.
Well I haven't got anything done today so better go and sort out some washing while DD has a nap.....
Leash hope you had a great birthday!
mel :P, Beema mwah!, MT, MM, kel, kiwi, sash and everyone else - hope you're having a good day

I love family traditions like that.

MT I thought it was really nice, we don't really have any family traditions like that in our family so it's nice to be part of the Bear's.

for Seven. Poor little mite! And for you too CM4E. I know exactly what you mean when you said you were in tears seeing your little girl in so much pain. It is heart-breaking seeing them like that and not being able to help them

Leasha - Sounds like a good one so far! Hope it continues! And hey it's your birthday so all the more reason to annoy Shel playing games! :P

Squidipa - Eternity rings are traditionally to be given (depending on who you ask!) for either your first anniversary, the birth of your first child or your 10th anniversary! 7 more years to go for me, unless you go by how long we have been together in which case "Where's my ring??"

Pixie - That's fantastic about your ring. I love family traditions like that. Probably cos I don't have them as my mother has no family since she was a little girl and Dad's family are all in the UK and any traditions will be passed on to the family that live there.

Arimeh - your house sounds mad - love it! I hope Keenan gets the all clear today and you don't get hit with that vet bill! Ouch!

I just gave Jett a baby massage and OMG he was loving it. He started grizzling before I finished so I just got him dressed and put him to bed and he was out like a light. This is my daytime cat-napper so I have never seen anything like it!
